    OKC officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign on vehicle

    An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.

    The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read "Abort Obama, not the unborn."
    Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over.
    ''I pulled over, knowing I hadn't done anything wrong," Harrison said in a recent phone interview.
    When the officer asked Harrison if he knew why he had been pulled over, Harrison said he did not.
    ''They said, 'It's because of the sign in your window,'" Harrison said.
    ''It's not meant to be a threat, it's a statement about abortion," Harrison said.
    He said he disagrees with the president's position on abortion.
    ''I asked the officer, 'Do you know what abort means?'" Harrison said. "He said, 'Yeah, it means to kill.' I said, 'No, it means to remove or terminate.'"
    Harrison said his sign was to be interpreted as saying something like: Remove Obama from office, not unborn babies from the womb.

    The officers confiscated Harrison's sign and gave him a slip of paper that stated he was part of an investigation.
    Harrison said he later received a call from a person who said he was a lieutenant supervisor for the Internal Investigations Department and wanted to know his location and return his sign to him.
    According to Harrison, the supervisor said the Secret Service had been contacted on the matter and had told them the sign was not a threat to the president.
    Harrison was asked if he would like to file a complaint. He said he was not sure but would take the paperwork, just in case.
    But his run-in with the law wasn't over yet.
    ''The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said.

    Ahh, the old "hysterical overreaction thread by Tuba" trick. And I fell for it.
    You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

    I had two Whataburger taquitos for breakfast and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.

    ''The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said.

    After talking to his attorney, Harrison went home where he met the Secret Service.

    ''When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren't going to ransack my house or anything ... they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups."

    Harrison said he invited the Secret Service agents into the house and they were "very cordial."


    I remember this happening when Bush was President during the times they were calling him a nazi etc,......... You remember....... when all those rights were supposedly taken away .......... you know....... that Patriot act thing.


    It was about the time Gonzales was calliing all americans cowards when it came to race......... Oh wait..... thats now.

    It was when the gov was picking winners and losers by saying who they were gonna take money from and who they were going to give it to........ Oops wrong again, thats now.

    These first 30 days have been Just what the country ordered.

    Wonder what they are going to pull out of the hat during the next 30 days.

    so, the OKC police is in Obama's martial law/Stalinist freedom crushing command.

    i love it when the Patriot Act warriors come in on "civil liberties".

    Does Homeland Security need to know what books i check out of the library....apparently so in 2003...but the new "real conservative/libertarian branch of the GOP" regime says no?

    it's Obama that's the police state, this time.

    This is much more about cops being stupid than it is about people's rights being taken away.

    Re: First they came for your radios, then your bumper stickers..

    This thread confuses me. Are people blaming this on Obama? Are people blaming this on Bush? Does Tuba like taquitos?

    Politics threads should be automatically one-starred.

    If the authorities really started confiscating all political bumper stickers, a lot of people would look a lot smarter.

    Wait.

    If Obama's "just like Bush," then what are you complaining about?

    Obama is nothing like Bush. Funny how all the things Bush unjustly gets blamed for are actual reality to the Great O.

    Hows that budget thing going?

    Unjustly blamed for? And again, how is this related to Obama in any way?

    It's not "unjust blame" if you DID do them.

    Obama IS different from President Bushcheney. Obama's SS guys were polite, waited for the homeowner and just did a precautionary walk through.

    Bushcheney's guys would have been waiting inside the already ransacked house WITHOUT a warrant and then deported the offender to a secret prison and this thread wouldn't even exist since we wouldn't have known about it.

    Hows that budget thing going?
    Don't know yet. It hasn't had a chance to work.

    But it can't be any worse than what President Bushcheney got us into.


    By the way, on a different note, when I read the article I expected the guy with the sign to be one of those "crazy IhateObamaHe'stheDevil" guys, but he seemed really nice and sincere. I'm glad he got to be on TV and speak his mind. I'm glad the OCPD returned his sign and apologized and set the record straight. I'm glad he got the chance to exercise his free speech in a civil and intelligent manner. And I'm glad he can have a differing opinion on a hot topic issue like Abortion than the President, but still come out and say, "He's my President and I support him 100%."

    That kind of maturity is rare nowadays.
